澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario Kart World, the iconic racing game series' 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first-ever open-world entry from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo, boasts various features that longtime fans may be familiar with – including what might just be the most tried and true method of dodging the infamous spiny 🌸shell when in first place.

There's nothing more annoying than leading a race in first place by what feels like miles, only to learn that you're in fact not all th🐷at far ahead of other players once a spiny shell, commonly known (and feared) as the blue shell, collides with you and you suddenly find yourself at the end of the roster in last sp🍬ot.

You can, however, cleverly dodge the shell with another item if you nail the timing 🅠down just right – and this also seems to appl𝓀y in Mario Kart World.

As highlighted in an online of the upcoming game, the mushroom item trick looks like it might work as it did in the series' past entries. The active player passes baby Mario to reach first plac🙈e, uses the Boo item to become invisible, then quickly deploys a mushroom right as a blue shell can be seen coming down on them.

It's all so fast that you might miss it, but it do🍌es indeed look like the spiny shell is dodged thanks to the player's perfect mushroom ❀timing.

🐼Not all fans are convinced, though – one comment sees someone speculate that the reason the player was able to dodge the she𒊎ll is actually because the Boo buff was still active.

"He was still in the Boo effect when the blue shell went off," reads the response. "Thꦅis doesn't confirm blue dodging with a mushroom."

Others think the short video does confirm it, however, with one writing it's "good to know that you can still dodge a blue shell with a mushr⭕oom."

There's no way to truly tell until Mario Kart World releases on June 5 alongside Nintendo's new console, but I'm personally keeping my fingers crossed for the old trick. Not too long is left now until the launch, and with plenty of other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch 2 games to look forward to, too, time will hopefully fly by.
